Meaningful Streams of Income...with Maiya

Mom, I want a business like yours!

Okay - true story about my morning  -

I have a poster I made for myself which I  tape to my office door for the whole house to see.  It reads, "PARTY TIME: Mom Just Made More Money." It's silly and fun for us - we do a little jig.

AND it keeps me honest and motivated!

So today, I slept late, until 9 AM. Since I get up at 5:30 AM during the school year, it's a pleasure to sleep in. It's also a pleasure to have a business where I can sleep in :-) 

First, I checked in with my 10-year old twins, next I checked email, happily hung my sign on the door, and then emailed 3 quick questions to one of my mentor coaches before our mentoring call at 10:00. Afterward I had one additional quick call and then headed downstairs to hang out with my twins while we made breakfast together.

______________

Twin A:   Mom, I saw your sign's up. Congratulations!

Me:         Thank you! (And we do a little "wahoo" shout.)

Twin B:  You made money already? Cool.

Twin A:   I bet the goal is to have that sign up 24 hours a day.

Me:         Yep! You got it!

Twin B:  Nah, that would mean you always have to be working.

Me:         No. Not in my business. The whole idea of my business model is that people can buy from me anytime they want - buy my products, sign up for my clubs and programs, 24 hours a day. 

Twin B:  So you make money even when you're asleep?

Me:         Exactly!

Twin B:  Oh Yeah! I want a business like that too!

______________

Out of the mouths of 10-year-olds. They sooo get it!

Are you ready to GET IT, too!

It's time to fuel your soul and your bank account - Check out all that's happening with the $1000 a Day Business Model and the Meaningful Streams of Income(tm) Master Success Circle.

"I would say definitely first of all just go for it...it just is amazing. I mean you hear people say this, but you never really quite fully realize it until it happens to you. That if you just take the first step all kinds of doors are going to open that you just didn’t realize were there because you weren’t looking for them. Or you were just focusing on the hard parts. “Here’s why I can’t,” or “Why this won’t happen...But just take a step and keep going...just starting, just taking an action that particular day – like you again, something else that you always emphasize – it can reward you ten-fold."  (Shahrzad - Master Success Circle Charter Member)

I Presented at the Same Event as My Million-dollar Business Heroes!

Yes, I am back from Milana Leshinsky's Coaching Super Summit. I actually traveled (shock) across country just to be at this event and I'm so glad I did.

I am still amazed that I was on the same agenda with millionaire "heroes" of mine like Milana Leshinsky, Kendall Summerhawk, Tom Antion, Adam Urbanski, Christian Mickelsen and more. I was smiling ear-to-ear, talking to them live and giving them the hugs they deserve for all their great work in my life!

As a member of Milana's Associate Coaching Team, Meg Montford, Kay Kotan and I ran a session on Thursday night for newbie coaches. We had a full house and had to bring in more chairs - twice! It was a blast and the feedback was outstanding. Yahoo!

Here we are with Milana at the 60's party on Saturday night.

The event was buzzing with fresh ideas, innovative solutions, common sense business strategies, and energizing success stories. Loved it!

I'll share some of the top themes I discovered at the heart of the businesses of these 6- and 7-figure coaches, speakers, and mentors. They continue to attract a steady stream of clients, grow new products and services, and make money in 2008 and beyond. (What recession?)

More to come, so stay tuned.

Blessings,
Maiya

International Day of Non-Violence | Oct 2nd

Today is the International Day of Non-Violence.  I think I'm a pretty non-violent person, so last night,  I asked myself, " How do I honor this day?"  And how do I honor the man who inspired it, Mahatma Gandhi?

Since I believe we co-create this life AND that  our outer life is a reflection of our inner thoughts, feelings and mindset, I came up with a request of myself:

1. To take things less personally today (as I speak to my teenagers, respond to emails, stretch out of my comfort zone and create a new series of higher-ticket products and programs.)
2. To check in with all my "random" thoughts and be very kind to myself. (And I woke this morning with a wild thought of angst and immediately set to work - I have a lovely mantra running now!)
3. To move in flow with my day following the path that unfolds (replacing the "gotta get it done" perfectionist drive with "it shall be done/thy will be done" ease.)

So how will you live in celebration of today?

Outer Life

• Will you send energy to passing strangers?
• Will you smile to 10 extra people today?
• Will you make amends with someone?
• Will you give long, deep hugs to everyone you love within reach? (Boy, are my kids in for a surprise this morning!)

Inner Life

• Will you speak kindly to yourself?
• Will you bless yourself with time to rest and ponder the possibilities?
• Will you dare to stretch and grow into unknown territory following your dream?

Post a message and let us all know how you embraced yourself today.

-----------------------------

Side Tidbit:
Mahatma  means "Great Soul", and was first applied to Gandhi by Rabindranath Tagore - Nobel Laureate for Literature, social reformer, amazingly prolific song writer and poet. I quote him on a series of bookmarks I created for myself and for my Priestess Walk group:

"Let me not pray
to be sheltered from dangers
but to be fearless in facing them.
Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain
but for the heart to conquer it."

~ Rabindranath Tagore

This helped at a time when my life was in a bit of upheaval, emotionally and physically.

Article Marketing - The 100 Article Journey Begins (Part 2 of 2)

To read part 1, see "Article Marketing - The 100 Article Journey Begins (Part 1)"

A Business That I Love, That Loves Me Right Back

During my time off, I published my first audio program, “Grow It!™: The $1000 a Day Business Model.” In it, I shared the strategies and steps I’ve used with clients to design their “Dream Business Blueprint” and then to help them make it happen.  I also worked with a limited number of clients by telephone who were mostly referrals from my network back east.

I continued to voraciously read any new business book and attend online programs to learn how to best leverage the new ideas, trends, and maverick strategies. (Okay, I confess - I’m a business idea addict!) Yes, ideas are fun. Yet, since I can only share what works with my clients, I continued to try out what I learned. I also continued to take family trips with my husband and children and sometimes (bonus!) alone with my hubby.

And one day it occurred to me that what I really wanted was a “have business, will travel” lifestyle. I wanted a business that I loved, that loves me right back, with clients I enjoy, lots of money, and a freedom-based lifestyle.

Sounded really good to me. I needed a global business that could be run anytime, from anywhere. So I got started creating just that.

On the Road to Creating the Dream Business

Today, I continue to grow my global community by belonging to different virtual mastermind groups and inner circle teams that meet by phone. I am comfortable doing my work with my clients by phone, email, and web. As the past owner of a graphic design and web development studio, I am also extremely comfortable creating and selling products online for my clients.

Now I find that I want to test out the online marketing strategy everyone is talking about – article marketing. Article marketing has gotten a lot of press lately (right up there with blogs and podcasts). The master marketers I follow, swear by it as a way to:

• grow your list,
• build your brand,
• build trust,
• attract your ideal clients,
• become known as an expert,
• spread the word about what you do, and
• thereby, helping you make more money and build a sustainable business you love.

These are all the things I help my clients do using other online marketing tools, so I thought, “Why not try article marketing and see how it works for me.”

Using Big Goals for Inspiration

Since I’m never at a loss for ideas or business growth strategies, I’m certain to have more than enough article topics. What I needed was inspiration, and for some quirky reason, big goals inspire me.

My article marketing goal became to write and publish one hundred articles that:

• are well-written,
• attract my ideal clients,
• expand my brand worldwide,
• create traffic for my sites and blogs,
• sell my current products and services,
• can be leveraged to create future products (a must-have for me!) and
• can support my journey to create multiple, meaningful streams of income.

Whew! I’m all packed and ready to take the first step on this journey. Don’t forget to sign up to my list to stay posted on what works and what doesn’t in the world of article marketing.

Let the 100 Article Journey begin!

Blessings,
MAIYA ROSE

p.s.  As I write this my kids are playing at one of our newest neighborhood parks. I am typing on my laptop curled up comfortably in the front seat of my car on the passenger side with the front door open allowing in a fabulous breeze. Today, I think I’m happily on track with manifesting my “Dream Blueprint”. How about you?

p.p.s. I invite anyone intrigued by this article marketing journey to join in. Just leave a comment or two. Also feel free to contact me via email. Be well on your journey.

Freedom, Family, and Making Money even when I'm not Working!

Okay, this is Day 6 of our vacation up the coast and we are enjoying the family reunion. My family is fairly small, so it's a bit wild to be with my husband's family and have so many of us. It's also very comforting...

Last night, the fireworks on the beach were amazing. Lots of campfires blazing in the dark night with unofficial fireworks shooting up all around us. Then the official show started and for a moment I was overwhelmed by the beauty and intensity of it all. Then I slid into a place of peace and enjoyed the celebration.

I opened my email this morning to find that we have a new baby in the family - My 2nd niece was just born back in CA! Wahoo!

So a great week all around celebrating freedom and family.

ALSO my business did business without me. No I didn't see any clients or book a teleseminar on this trip. I've been on the beach, to the movies, at a parade, eating well, and hanging out with my husband, kids and extended family.

My product is what changed the equation. And I believe that products, programs, and membership sites are what you need to truly gain the freedom you need and want in your business. This is why the $1000 a Day, Meaningful Streams of Income(tm) model is so important.

SO you can have a life...
that you can enjoy...
and still pay the bills...
even when you aren't working.

That's all for now. Just ask yourself, what product are you going to create, so the next 4th of July, you'll enjoy a bit more freedom and independence?

Blessings and Possibilities,
Maiya Rose

From Corporate Job to Meaningful Streams of Income Entrepreneur

Are you moving from a corporate job to your future as a successful entrepreneur?

When I first started coaching, my clients were executives, consultants, and professionals - mostly corporate folks who wanted to be ex-corporate like me.

Some of my clients who found themselves in jobs they liked, were still searching for the next challenge, a new calling, and the meaning behind what they were doing.

I knew exactly how they felt. By age 35, I had a job making more than I had imagined I would, a nice glass office with a view. I had 5-figure bonus checks, too. Beautiful and inspiring to me.

My job was satisfying. In my corporate position, I worked with many people I truly liked and respected. I had opportunities to do cutting-edge work which inspired me to get up each day, stay late, and take work home with me.

Then what happened to me is what I think happens to so many people. I had succeeded in the game I had chosen to play - "successful woman as corporate executive" - and I began to wonder what was next. I began to question "ME".

• Who I was.
• Who I wanted to be.
• What I truly valued.
• What I honestly wanted to do with my life.
• What I was meant to do in this world.
• Who did I want to become.

Have you ever asked yourself these very same questions?

Back then, my closest friend and I would take lunch-time walks and ask ourselves,

"Is this all there is?"

We came to the conclusion that no, this was not all.

I had achieved my goals as an executive, and would probably succeed in anything I chose to do. It was time to choose to play -

• where I was more at home with myself,
• where I could follow a new calling to have more of an impact in the world, and
• where I felt I could make money and make a difference.

After much searching, I discovered and fell in love with coaching. I found out the cost of tuition and hesitated, yet knew I was on the right track. Within days, a check for almost the full tuition amount arrived in the mail from a forgotten account. My husband and I knew why it had arrived, and I signed up immediately with Coach U.

I continued working for my Fortune 100 employer, I trained to become a coach and I used my new skills with my teams and my business partners. Then with a dream in hand, I next set out to create my own business that fueled my soul as well as my bank account.

Since at heart, I am a blend of business person, healer, project manager, researcher, and artist, my business style is really a mix of coaching, mentoring and "get-it-done, make-it-real" consulting

Over the last 10 years,

• I have run my own Life and Business Coaching company, a healing business called Harvest House Healing LLC, and a Design and Publishing Company.
• I have created signature programs including the Passionate Purpose Program™ and Meaningful Streams of Income™.
• I authored the book/audio series called "Grow It! The $1000 a Day Business Model"
• I have coached people in groups, privately and through my coaching clubs, plus much more. (You can read my quick bio here.)

I will not kid you, it has not all been smooth sailing. Leaving the comfort of a good position, not to mention steady paychecks, bonuses, benefits, and retirement plans, can be unnerving at times. No one wants to risk their family's future. (Did I mention that I am a wife and the mother of 4?)

However, I would say this journey is worth it. Each day, I continue to work to grow my business and each day, I get to enjoy the work I do, the people I get to work with, and the opportunities that show up for me again and again. And the bonus - I get to show up fully as I am, doing work I love, working with the people I love to serve, and getting paid to do it! And of course the testimonials and praise from my clients is fuel for my soul, too.

So that's my (short) story about my move from corporate executive to Meaningful Streams of Income coach and entrepreneur. The purpose of this post is to remind you that you are not alone on this journey. There are others who have walked the path before you and are here to help.

Very soon, you can join others and create your own $1000+ a Day, Meaningful Streams of Income business...doing what you love.

Stay tuned for my new Meaningful Streams Master Success Circle starting on May 1st, 2008. There are some very enticing, yet limited, early sign-up bonuses (hint: private sessions) that are an unheard of gift for coaching clubs.
